Totally agree! plus he's got a rare emotional maturity to look at the players as real people, and humility not have to be a flashy know it all. And that's why he's able to pinpoint everything so well, remain optimistic and objective. Even though he's actually a die hard supporter 😎respect Alex for always being a diffent knock and not a different c***!
If he loses a tooth again before the end of the season and we fail to win the title we will all know why... The ruthless tooth fairy's bias against Arsenal.
We got a free run at Timber because he's literally an Arsenal fan - we supposedly asked him to wait a year for us instead of joining Utd & he was on board because obviously.
Potentially the only RUclipsr I've ever watched who makes paid sponsorship a non-issue anymore. Have been watching TDK from the start, don't ever change!
Thank you for that last bit. I'm still a new fan ('19-'20 is when I became a fan), and I'm having trouble understanding how easy it is for soccer fans to start bickering and catastrophizing. We don't know everything that's going on, that always helps me shut the hell up and strap in for my team. I'm an American and I used to watch the NFL as a Miami Dolphins fan. We've only won it one year. One perfect year mind you 😎. But yeah, if you support a team, do it when the plane hits turbulence as well as when there's blue skies.
You won't get that with our fanbase 😂😂 I've been a fan for 15years now and I assure you that even if we're to win, there would be a section of fans who don't like some players, manager,.... Just stay positive 😊
Love the point about a player missing the one big chance there is in a game isn’t the problem, what’s worse is you created that one chance. You cannot win consistently like this so you can’t be disappointed when the results don’t go your way. Arsenal have to be ruthless now and there are probably 2-3 spots up for grabs still in the starting lineup I feel that will tip the balance and make us a great team. We HAVE to do more good business in the market if we want to make history.
I have waited like forever for your video 😪 Leaning cheek to cheek for that notification from TDK😅. Finally one to watch and analyze the beautiful game together
Great analysis Alex. But I have one question. Lately we have scored some goals that were set up by some conventional overlapping of the fullbacks. I'm not sure if we should deviate more to create those situations. Often the box is so crowded. By creating a numerical advantage on the wing, we might be able to draw some opponents out of the box and create further threat. I don't know what to think about that though.....
The main question for me with all 4 comps in mind is - are we clinical enough? Dont know if Jesus would be moved in Jan, but for me we need someone who takes chances
I'd like to add that, besides the game/mimutes load management, there's also training in which we got no idea what happens. In a season you can't always do light training because eventually performance will fall off. There also periods when training will be harder so the players retain physicality, stamina etc. Imo, the fitness coach is maybe the most important person in a team, because he determines the physical performance level throughout the season. Of course it is in communication with the head coach and others, but having a good fitness coach gets a team to a much higher level

For January transfer window, my idea is to hack Brightons scouting systems and sign whichever marauding box to box hidden gem they have lined up to replace Baleba
If we win against CRY in Carabao cup QF it’ll add on a game and FA cup 3rd round will add another. played usually on Jan 11-12. Fixtures to be announced.
I generally like the way you look at things, with maturity and temperance (which isn't in fashion these days sadly), but this video was even better than most imo, keep it up Alex ! Much love from France. PS: nice to see with all your front teeth again 🙂
What I'm worried about now is what happens if the team is struggling because they're tired, but there isn't an opportunity to rest and refresh, such as an international break, in the near future? We saw this kind of drop off that led to dropped points last season towards the end of December, and now we've seen it again. The players are only human after all, having to play a full 90-100 minutes of elite level football twice a week every week takes its toll, so having to do that now for basically 4 months straight will very likely take its toll again. We can't really afford to drop too many more points in the PL, and same probably goes for the CL. We really need to figure that out before it becomes a problem again.
Every team has the same amount of players registered at the start of the season, so they have the same chance of dropping points too. Only lady luck can protect us.
@jshshsshshsj yes because every manager has won 10 trophies... in their first season. And everyone except Arteta has a champions league trophy... Total failure.
If Arteta wins the league he would be the manager to win after the most consecutive failed seasons. Most Epl Managers win the Prem in their first 4 years.
Does he? He was - if he was real - born under the Aries star sign (March/April) and the whole resurrection fiction is celebrated in April. The story was moved to December as part of the co-opting of the pagan festival that Christmas is based on (stole). Jesus has nothing to do with Christmas.
“We will lose again” is rlly poignant. Its just one of those things that everybody knows but once you say it, it really makes you think maturely about the rest of the season.
Lies. We havent done the same stuff approach wise. Its the dishonesty that gets me everytime. And if we arent honest about why we failed we will continue to fail again when things don't go our way
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the content and will continue to watch but if someone come out and said you were on Mikel Arteta’s payroll I wouldn’t be surprised. The modern day Goebbels.
Man I just love you always have a way to make me have courage even when I feel down and have incredible doubt towards the boys, just love everything you do. Keep up the good work
Perhaps it is time to replace Martinelli? Whilst he had a couple of good games, I am not convinced he is still the right man. And then a striker of course. I was okay with not having one. Not so sure now. Finally, we need another Odegaard, clearly. Viera is now not playing at all. Or is Arteta waiting to get Nwaneri ready?
Bro okay good tskes as usual but arteta should have given nwaneri more minutes during odegards absence given how terrible people like trossard is when he starts
Timber was sooo good against Sporting. I wonder whether he's a long term replacement for Partey. Rice definitely isn't as it's not progressive enough and will likely stay as the left 8.

@@jshshsshshsj We were 11 points ahead of City in 22/23. Liverpool were 5 points ahead in 23/24 with only 13 games to end the season. You can't predict the future. You're not God. How is Arteta wasteful? You guys complained Wenger didn't spend enough, too. He inherited a terrible team & had to overhaul the squad, unlike Slot who had an already elite squad, half of which had won the EPL & UCL with Klopp. Many of you also complained that Mikel was signing too many defenders, only for the season to start & majority of our injuries now coming from defenders. "We need a striker", even though Kai isn't exactly terrible (not everyone has to be as good as Haaland), ignoring the fact that we scored 91 goals last season, which is the highest ever the club has scored in EPL. Even the likes of Haaland & Gyokeres can be stopped, hence the reason our attack shouldn't rely too much on one player, as Arteta has stated before. You guys also forget that 3 red cards affected our season more than any signings or lack thereof. Are you going to blame Arteta for those as well?
@@jshshsshshsj I wasn't questioning how many finals we've been to, just pointing out to the guy saying we say the same thing "every" year that we only started competing for the title (& thus, saying whatever he says we've been saying) in 22/23, not every year. What does my response have to do with how many finals we've been in? How many years did Klopp spend in Liverpool before getting to his 1st final, or winning his 1st trophy? He also had only Pep to contend with, while Arteta had him & Pep, 2 world class managers, vs a literal first timer. Cut him some slack. Neither Klopp or Slot were this good in their 1st managerial career & didn't coach big clubs in their debut.
I do think someone who 'scares' defenders before the game even starts, a CF that they know WILL score if they get a sniff will open space for others. For me Martinelli isint quite good enough an hasnt really developed, so there is an opportunity there too.
I don't doubt that we are good. That's not the argument. Our floor is 80pts +. That's a very high floor for any team. The question is whether or not we are good enough to win the league. And at the level that City have set. And until we do, it'll continue to be a valid question. We're not competing against the invincible season. Cos even that 90pt season wouldn't have won last season. Maybe only 1 season in last 5yrs. The levels are higher now. We need to be better. We can't congratulate ourselves for being a good team. We need to find that extra margin to get better if we are to win the league.
